Warning and Safety instructions
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Placing hot objects on the sensors and displays could damage the electronics underneath them. Do not place hot pans on the sensors and displays.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room.
The control panel and the hob frame or hob edges (on hobs with bevelled edges) can become hot due to the influence of the following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans and the number of cooking zones being used.
Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
